Anytime a new online game is developed there is always
a question of how well it will fit the needs & wants of the fans.
Everyone has his or her own vision of how the game will look.
One hurdle for the developers is that the fan base is so wide.
The original Star Trek with Kirk and Dr. McCoy started over forty years ago.
Since then we have had several different series and many movies to
widen he fan base. Fans want the most intensive graphics and gaming
that can be achieved. No one wants to be disappointed especially after
the long wait they have endured for Star Trek PC Games.

There are a few things that have not been decided yet but as they
continue to create the game these things will be decided and posted
on the official site. One of the things that have not been decided
yet is the fee structure. Cryptic has not decided if they
are going to have the subscription fee that is the norm for most
online rpgs. They have also not finalized the system requirements.
The would like this game to be played on the PS3 but they also have
to consider the game graphics and how well it runs on certain systems.
One of the hopes is that PC and console players will be able to
play on the same servers. They don’t foresee any problem with this since the platform is already there.

Starting with in the next month or so Cryptic is going to
continually update their site to bring fans up to date (ie. Star Trek Online Ships).
The site will have a year-by-year timeline. The calendar will provide fans with
updates on what has been going on since the last movie. It will give them
an idea of what has been going on for the past 30 years when the
game comes out. This way there will be no questions as to what is
going on when the rpg starts.

The Star Trek RPG should not disappoint even the most
particular fan boys. With the updates and the site they should be ready
to jump in and play when the game is released.
